Michael has $1,082.99 in his checking account. He is going to spend $507 43 on a new television, and he will spend the rest on speakers that cost $45.00 each. Which of the following inequalities would determine the maximum number of speakers, x, Michael
can buy without spending more money than he has in his account?

3. (5x + 1) - (-10x + 6)

simplify the answer choice. combine like terms. remember to distribute the negative to the terms inside the second parenthesis. also remember that two negatives = one positive, and one of each sign = negative.

- (-10x + 6) = + 10x - 6

simplify. combine like terms:

5x + 1 + 10x - 6

5x + 10x + 1 - 6

15x - 5

∴ it is your answer
